Elmhurst College could soon hear back from the City of Elmhurst regarding the removal of Walter Street—a purchase that would create 150 additional parking spots for the campus.

“The City is in the process of having a traffic and pedestrian study done for Walter Street, Prospect Ave., and Myrtle Ave,” said city manager James Grabowski, who expects the results of the study to be ready for discussion at the April 8 Public Works & Buildings Committee.

EC, which submitted a letter to the city last semester, has been looking to purchase Walter Street, the street behind the Alexander parking lot, in attempt to alleviate parking issues on campus.
